According to Yonhap News on August 27, the Qatari Foreign Ministry stated that the two foreign ministers discussed efforts to ease tensions and create conditions for dialogue to enhance regional security and stability.
The discussions also included agreements on establishing a 'temporary joint navigation corridor' in the Strait of Hormuz and executing a joint project for the removal of mines in the strait.

During the meeting, Al Thani emphasized the need to respect the sovereignty of neighboring countries and ensure freedom of navigation, stressing the importance of continued diplomatic efforts to resolve differences and reduce tensions through dialogue.
Araghchi expressed gratitude for the ongoing diplomatic efforts and commitment of the Qatari government to support dialogue and ease regional tensions.
